Eh, my laptop died so I am NOT going to sit at the desktop and watch so much video.  The upshot is, I now podcast.

Is the complaint that there are now commercials when people are listening live?  Boy, I can imagine it would cost LARGE to set up another channel for members to listen live  with only music in the breaks.

Commercials ARE annoying but you get that with any show if you listen live.  I look at commercials as being a sign that the Young Turks are now on a firmer financial footing (but still can't take all the team to the convention?).  TYT MUSTMUSTMUST go on so I'll take commercials anyday over financial insolvency.

Besides which membership means never having to say "commercials suck!".  Just download later.  And yeah, with everything changing around so much it's not surprising there are a few techno glitches in the beginning.  

I just wonder if when TYT hits the bigtime if they will still love us members as much.  :(

People should just participate in live chat or discussion threads lower down on the right side of the page during commercials.

Or go pee, grab a bite to eat or a something to drink, etc.

Better yet, listen to them and email or call the advertisers to let them know you heard their ad on TYT and that you'll buy and or recommend their product.

Where?!

But seriously, it would help TYT and require little effort to email the advertisers/sponsors and let them know you'll buy or recommend their product(s) or service(s).
